Jude 1:5-11 - Apostates: Past And Present

⁵ My mind is therefore to put you in remembrance, forasmuch as ye once know this, how that the Lord - after that he had delivered the people out of Egypt - destroyed them which afterward believed not: ⁶ The angels also, which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day: ⁷ even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them - which in like manner defiled themselves, with fornication, and followed strange flesh - are set forth for an example, and suffer the vengeance of eternal fire.

⁸ Likewise these dreamers defile the flesh, despise rulers, and speak evil of them that are in authority. ⁹ Yet Michael the archangel, when he strove against the devil, and disputed the body of Moses, durst not give railing sentence, but said, "The Lord rebuke thee." ¹⁰ But these speak evil of those things which they know not. In those things which they know naturally - as beasts which are without reason - they corrupt themselves. ¹¹ Woe be unto them, for they have followed the way of Cain, and are utterly given to the error of Balaam for lucre's sake, and are cast away in the treason of Korah.
